On-Page SEO Optimisation for Wix

Why This Matters for Wix Specifically

Wix gives you full control over title tags, meta descriptions, heading tags, and URL slugs through the SEO panel, but the interface differs significantly from WordPress or HTML sites. Understanding exactly where each setting lives in the Wix editor, and what Wix does automatically versus what you must set manually, is the difference between pages that rank and pages that sit invisible. This module walks you through the Wix SEO Panel field by field, including how to configure pattern-based defaults for blog posts and dynamic pages that apply site-wide without manual repetition. You will master internal anchor text strategy, learn how Wix strips certain HTML from rich text elements affecting your heading depth, and implement content siloing through strategic section structure that passes relevance signals to Google across your entire Wix page hierarchy.

Lessons in This Module

1. 1. Writing title tags that rank AND drive click-throughs
